Stam's reaction to Millwall defeat

He talks about a late penalty shout that was turned down and the pressure the team faces after a poor start.

“There is always pressure and when you’re winning games it’s easier.

“By having a season like last year everyone is expecting a lot this time but it’s not easy. We still have a lot of games to play and we can still do very well.

“If you don’t win games there are always people who talk about it but if you look at most of the games we are still playing well.

“If we were playing badly and not creating anything then you can say there’s a problem, but that’s not the case.”

15,000 abused children let down by mental health service

Shocking new figures show 15,000 abused children in Berkshire have been failed by plans for mental health care.

The mental health plan for Berkshire West was rated as amber by the NSPCC, meaning plans had made some reference to the needs of children who have been abused, but were inadequately planning for their care.

NSPCC trustee and clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron said:

“Failing to plan is planning to fail, and alarmingly most CCGs are setting themselves up to fail children who have already been through abuse and trauma.

“It is unacceptable that despite the huge number of children estimated to have been abused, and the known link between abuse and mental health problems, the vast majority of our health services do not have a proper strategy for how to take care of these children.”
